Ryde School netball team

Triple win for Ryde School with championships in Sailing, Rugby, and Netball

Ryde School finished the term with a collection of Championship wins in Sailing, Rugby and Netball.

Team sports at Ryde School have seen some brilliant wins over the last two weeks with the U16 Rugby Sevens team taking the Hampshire Cup; one of the Ryde sailing teams securing the title of the British Keelboat League (BKL) Schools’ Championships hosted by RTYC (Royal Thames Yacht Club) and the Ryde Netball team winning the Embley U13 Netball Tournament.

The Hampshire Cup
The Hampshire Cup saw some very good rugby and a memorable day for the team who were crowned cup winners of the Hampshire U16 Sevens at Alton RFC against schools such as Salesian College, Lord Wandsworth College, Portsmouth Grammar School, Thornden School and Priestlands School.

Exciting rugby was played and behaviour and respect across teams was a pleasure to behold.

RTYC Championship
With three sailing teams competing in the RTYC Championship, Ryde School went in strong and the “Ryde Black” team were a dominant force at the top of the results all the way through the event.

The teams competed against schools such as Royal Hospital School and Sherborne School, over 42 races in total, and often in tricky conditions.

Embley Netball Tournament
The Embley Netball Tournament saw our U13 team produce a fine display of netball. The Ryde School team played some very strong netball over five matches against Portsmouth Grammar School, Portsmouth High School and Embley School among others, coming away the U13 Tournament victors.

Embley was a great host for a week of tournaments for U15s, U14s, U13s and U12s teams.
